As far as I am aware yes they are.

Okay new ECU and SCU and still the same problem.

It takes around 10 attempts of starting with dabbing the throttle and then it fires up however it will not idle and i need to keep the revs high. I can keep the revs around 2500rpm then it will die... Then another 10 attempts and it will do the same.

I'm thinking fuel pump now?

Doesn't sound like its misfiring tbh it doesnt run long enough for me to go around and check , really need another person.

Dads saying its an air leak from somewhere like the brake servo or the fuel pumps bad.

Getting fed up with this car

They're both possibilities, any fault codes being recorded.

Jason04r · 27-01-14, 08:35 PM

No codes...

I guess it is firing on all 6 then, it would record random misfires if not.

Thing is, why would the pump decide to quit.

Not stale fuel???

About a month old .. 25 litres of fresh petrol.

I'm going to make a DIY smoke machine ... 12v air pump , sealed tin and a cigar .
Got the idea from here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRiK2HEA3QQ

Worth a shot to rule of a vacuum leak

Well.....

IT WORKS!!!

Faulty fuel regulator valve , changed it and immediately the fuel pump sounded different.

Turned the key and it started first and everytime.

Weeee
